Korea has been developing nuclear fusion fuel storage and delivery system (SDS) technologies including a basic scientific study on hydrogen storage. To develop nuclear fusion technology, it is necessary to store and supply hydrogen isotopes needed for Tokamak operation. SDS is used for storing hydrogen isotopes as a metal hydride form. The rapid hydriding of tritium is very important not only for safety reasons but also for the economic design and operation of the SDS. In this study, we designed and fabricated a medium-scale getter bed of depleted uranium (DU). The hydriding of DU has been measured by varying the initial temperature ($100-300^{\circ}C$) of the DU getter bed to investigate the influence of the cooling temperature. Furthermore, we analyzed the effect of a helium blanket on the hydriding performance with 0 - 12% helium content in hydrogen.

This study developed internal dose coefficients for radioiodine, tailored to the Korean population, by incorporating the Korean biokinetic model along with the Korean S values. The observed differences in dose coefficients for Koreans compared to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) reference values noticeably varied depending on physical half-lives of iodine isotopes. For longer-lived isotopes such as I-125 and I-129, significant differences in thyroid dose coefficients were observed, with ratios (Korean/ICRP) from 0.30 to 0.55, indicating that actual doses for Koreans can be considerably lower than those evaluated based on the ICRP data. However, for short-lived iodine isotopes, such as I-131, the thyroid dose coefficients were comparable to the ICRP reference values (ratio = 0.95-0.98). These comparable dose coefficients resulted from the lower thyroidal iodine uptake in the Korean model being almost entirely offset by the higher thyroid self-absorption S values in the Korean phantoms. Additionally, this study delves into the substantial differences in absorbed dose coefficients for non-thyroidal regions and effective dose coefficients, which arose not only from physiological/anatomical variability but also technical differences in phantom design. The use of Korean-specific dose coefficients is advisable particularly in scenarios predicting elevated doses, yielding a more precise and clinically relevant dose assessment.

Natural boron consists of two stable isotopes 10B and 11B with natural abundance of 18.8 atom percent of 10B and 81.2 atom percent of 11B. The thermal neutron absorption cross-section for 10B and 11B are 3837 barn and 0.005 barn respectively. 10B enriched specific compounds are used for control rods and as a reactor coolant additives. In this work 2 methods for boron enrichment were analysed: 1) Gas irradiation in static conditions. Dissociation occurs due to multiphoton absorption by specific isotopes in appropriately tuned laser field. IR shifted laser pulses are usually used in combination with increasing the laser intensity also improves selectivity up to some degree. In order to prevent recombination of dissociated molecules BCl3 is mixed with H2S 2) SILARC method. Advantages of this method: a) Gas cooling is helpful to split and shrink boron isotopes absorption bands. In order to achieve better selectivity BCl3 gas has to be substantially rarefied (~0.01%-5%) in mixture with carrier gas. b) Laser intensity is lower than in the first method. Some preliminary calculations of dissociation and recombination with carrier gas molecules energetics for both methods will be demonstrated Boron separation in SILARC method can be represented as multistage process: 1) Mixture of BCl3 with carrier gas is putted in reservoir 2) Gas overcooling due to expansion through Laval nozzle 3) IR multiphoton absorption by gas irradiated by specifically tuned laser field with subsequent gradual gas condensation in outlet chamber It is planned to develop software which includes these stages. This software will rely on the following available software based on quantum molecular dynamics in external quantized field: 1) WavePacket: Each particle is treated semiclassicaly based on Wigner transform method 2) Turbomole: It is based on local density methods like density of functional methods (DFT) and its improvement- coupled clusters approach (CC) to take into account quantum correlation. These models will be used to extract information concerning kinetic coefficients, and their dependence on applied external field. Information on radiative corrections to equation of state induced by laser field which take into account possible phase transition (or crossover?) can be also revealed. This mixed phase equation of state with quantum corrections will be further used in hydrodynamical simulations. Moreover results of these hydrodynamical simulations can be compared with results of CFD calculations. The first reasonable question to ask before starting the CFD simulations is whether turbulent effects are significant or not, and how to model turbulence? The questions of laser beam parameters and outlet chamber geometry which are most optimal to make all gas volume irradiated is also discussed. Relationship between enrichment factor and stagnation pressure and temperature based on experimental data is also reported.

강우의 산소 및 수소안정동위원소는 물순환 연구에서 수분의 이동 및 강우와 지하수계의 상호작용을 이해하는 데에 사용되어 왔다. 종유석 및 빙하의 안정동위원소를 이용하여 과거의 기후 및 기상을 이해하는 데에 이용되고 있으며, 이러한 과거지시자를 설명하기 위한 전지구순환모델의 기초자료로 이용되고 있다. 동위원소 분석기기의 발전으로 인해 이전보다 고해상도 연구가 점차 가능해 지고 있으며, 강우안정동위원소 역시 고해상도 연구에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 해안에서 강우안정동위원소의 변동을 관찰하기 위하여 자동시료채취장치를 개발하여 강우량에 따라 5-15분 간격으로 강우시료를 채취하였다. 강우동위원소의 변동은 연구기간동안 최대 -5.7(-40.1)‰, 최소 -10.8(-74.3)‰ 값을 보였으며, 연구기간동안 강우안정동위원소의 산소와 수소의 선형관계의 기울기는 6.8이며, 이를 강우사상으로 분리하면 각각 5.1, 4.2, 7.9, 7.7이다. 이는 첫 두 강우가 내리면서 증발이 일어났음을 지시하며, 시간이 갈수록 증발이 더 이상 일어나지 않았음을 의미한다. 이러한 안정동위원소의 분화는 여러 물순환 연구에 시사하는 바가 크며, 앞으로 강우안정동위원소를 이용한 연구를 수행할 때 강우의 고해상도 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

국내 방사선 및 방사성 동위원소 신고사업장 피폭실태를 조사하여 안전보건 관리방안 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제시한다. 153개 사업장 근로자를 surveymeter로 선량률(작업공간, 작업자위치)을 측정하였고, 27개 사업장은 thermal luminescence dosimeter(TLD)로 개인노출 농도(표층선량, 심부선량)를 측정하였다. Surveymeter에 의한 업종별[소방방재업(n=10), 금융보험업(n=3), 기타사업장(n=140)] 측정결과, 세 군 간에 차이가 있었다(p<0.000). 소방방재업과 금융보험업의 작업자위치 선량률은 허가사업장 기준인 10.0 ${\mu}Sv$/hr보다 높았고, 기타업종과 비교하여 109.3배(p<0.000), 187.5배(p<0.000) 각각 높게 나타났다. TLD 심부선량 농도[소방방재업(n=10), 기타 사업장(n=17)]는 소방방재업이 기타업종과 비교하여 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). Surveymeter와 TLD 측정결과 간의 관련성 분석에서는, 작업공간과 작업자위치 선량률(r=0.406, p<0.05), 작업자위치 선량률과 표층선량(r=0.453, p<0.05), 작업자위치 선량률과 심부선량(r=0.553, p<0.01), 표층선량과 심부선량(r=0.927, p<0.001)간에 각각 관련이 있었다. 방사선 및 방사선동위원소 신고사업장인 소방방재업과 금융보험업은 법적 관리구역 재설정을 통한 허가사업장으로의 전환은 방사선 취급 종사자의 안전보건을 위하여 매우 시급하다.
